A summer-fall... filled with ....ALEX HALL ( NASHVILLE POLL)

OHHH that NASHVILLE series has filled me with so many emotions and inspiration.
I did a screen shot of this image over Juliettes bed ( Hayden)

and I just could not get it out of my mind..
For 2 weeks, I went seeking any info I could find... . NO LUCK.......I am a pretty determined lady so I thought someone has to know...so I sent this out to numerous art dealers in Tennessee, finally someone shared with me it was from a gallery showing. A great lead it was... so I then went through all the artists and found HIM.. His name is Alex Hall....

And that first image stirs me on so many levels..
It is called “Proelium” which in latin means Battle... I want to design our whole bedroom around this image in the fall....I have already selected the paint and Alex shared with me, he will see about offering this in a very large print for above the bed. His original sold was an oil..... I am okay with a print at this rate....

Here are others with his permission that I can share with you... this one is called “Inertia”

“Two Fates”

“Remission”
this one speaks to me too.....
Just as the music as stirred me now this...
Artist Statement My new series “Relativity” depicts individuals floating in time and space. I chose to paint the figures with no distinct faces so they would relate to every man and every woman. This particular series is a very honest representation of where I am currently in my own life. Having recently graduated college and being thrown off my feet into the real world, I was extremely overwhelmed. I still was not sure what path to take or which way to go in life. I began to realize that most people are familiar with this feeling of uncertainty. With that idea, I sought out to create a series that was a visual representation of an emotion that has been universally felt by all people: A sense of uncertainty, and ultimately struggling to achieve a balance in life.

We are planning a trip to Nashville , already booked our B&B... I hope to meet with this Alex Hall....
